Ancient times ( Book 1)- Blood Vengeance

Chapter 13~ The Tournament Begins

Katherine gazed at the gigantic arena constructed at the center of the city, for the tournament from her window. It was a view to behold, the only bad aspect of it was that, it will spill the blood of whoever steps inside today. Yes! Today is the day she have been waiting for, the tournament to crown the heir to her father's throne which was supposed to be hers. But not to worry, she has a plan of her own too because, no one will get to inherit what is rightfully hers...

A knock on the door drew her out of her thought.

" Come in" she spoke.

Connan enters the room shutting the door behind him.

" Mi lady you are not yet dressed for today's event" he sighted her outfit, she was still in her nightgown.

Katherine turns and smiles. " I was waiting for you to come give me a bath"

Connan walks up to her grabbing her by the waist shifting his hand to grab her ass drawing her close to himself. " Your wish is my command" he then pull off his face to reveal himself as Zora the maiden. " But I have to admit, I am tired of playing two faces in one body" she admitted holding Katherine by the waist again.

" Well today is the day you get to put my servant face to good use in the tournament. Are you ready for this battle because it won't be easy out there" Katherine stated.

Zora shrugs. " I don't fucking care who they put in front of me, because when you got what I have, all you have to do is show up and win"

Katherine pulls her into a kiss to conceal her trust in the maiden. Both women could not get enough of each other tongue before Zora pulls off.

" Let's finish this in the bath shall we, before everyone starts to notice where the chief maiden and guards of the Queen is" Zora said breathing. All Katherine did was nod, she was so happy she found someone like Zora who was willing to sacrifice so much including her life for her throne.

Now she will do everything to make sure it was worth it...

The arena was filled up to the brim with lots of people from around the realm to watch the tournament live but, not for free though. They had to pay five gold coins to witness the event. Kings and Queens from all other kingdoms were present as well to cheer for their chosen warriors.

Katherine sat beside her mother Roseline at the front special row built for the king of the eight kingdoms with knights stationed at near them and around the arena. Lots of discussion covered the place, until her father Varl stood up raising his arm up to silence the crowd.

" Today! Lives will change, many will enter this arena for four weeks but only one will win. The gods be with us. Let the tournament begin!!" The king declared and the crowd cheered.

Grandmaster Dutch came out the entrance to the center of the arena. " Eight rounds shall be held each day for the first week, then those who survive will move on to the next week and the next until the final round. The gods bless you all" he left the arena.
The first round was the West against the North, each choose their warriors for the round. Zora dressed as connan in a gold armour all through holding a dagger at one hand, one at her side. Her opponent was a average man in his own armour, a spear in his hand. You were allowed any kind of weapon to battle your opponent to the death which made Katherine a little nervous for Zora who decided to use a dagger, a lot of warriors are going to be bringing different kinds of weapons to the tournament, she hoped Zora can handle them.

The bell call for the fight to begin.

The warrior charges at Zora with his speed but Zora didn't move, she waited until he got close before side stepping drawing her foot out causing him to hit the ground hard. If not for his helmet, he would have been knocked out but he stood up and in fast motion threw his spear at lightning speed at her, she did a side flip in the air dodging the spear and landing.
